Whatever instrument you are playing, you should study the history of the instrument from the very beginning. Many drummers think jazz drumming started with Elvin Jones and Jeff Watts. You have to find out where theses people learned from and go upstream from there. You can’t put student before the teacher. You have to start at the origin. Listen to Roy Haynes with Lester Young and Bud Powell. Listen to Art Taylor comp with his left hand like Bud Powell.

 Paul Motian © T Bruce Wittett
Paul Motian, the highly influential jazz drummer, composer and bandleader, presents a group with Jason Moran on piano and Greg Osby on saxophone called Three In One for six nights at the Village Vanguard from Tuesday, March 16th through Sunday, March 21st. Whether the name evokes the Holy Trinity or the popular bicycle chain lubricant, regardless these spirited musicians will surely mesh like a well oiled machine to propel music forward. The legendary Paul Motian has been a professional musician since 1954, and briefly played with pianist Thelonious Monk. He became well known as the drummer in pianist Bill Evans's trio. Subsequently he has played with pianists Paul Bley and Keith Jarrett and has also become a significant composer and band-leader.
Since the early 1980s Paul Motian has led a trio featuring guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano, occasionally joined by bassists Ed Schuller, Charlie Haden or Marc Johnson, and other musicians, including Jim Pepper, Lee Konitz, Dewey Redman and Geri Allen. In addition to playing Motian's compositions, the group has recorded tributes to Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans, and a series of Paul Motian on Broadway albums, featuring original interpretations of standard tunes. |

Released in 2009, their Songlines Recordings SACD/CD, Where is Pannonica?, was lauded by The New York Times as a "strangely beautiful new album" from two "resourcefully contemporary pianists, both drawn to quixotic interrogations of harmony and timbre." |
